Revue 2006 : What Stakes for the Revision of the Regulation of the European Framework of the Telecoms?
La révision du « paquet télécom »

Summary/Abstract: In response to the convergence of technologies and the need for horizontal regulation of all infrastructures, the European institutions have adopted the 2002 new telecommunication regulatory framework in order to make the electronic communications sector more competitive. Although this framework works well, changes are needed in order to maintain its effectiveness. The future revised regulatory framework for electronic communications will have to take account of technological developments on the market and respond to the needs of the sector over the next ten years. The Commission proposes to make changes in two main areas: the management of the radio spectrum and the market review procedure. Other changes are also planned to consolidate the internal market, strengthen consumer and user interests, improve security and remove outdated provisions. The new texts will be adopted between 2007 and 2009. They will enter into force between 2010 and 2012.
